Email UpdatesContingency management (CM) is an evidence-based intervention that uses incentives to encourage positive recovery behaviors among individuals with substance use disorders. Research shows that CM can improve abstinence, treatment engagement, and medication adherence, including medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). It is particularly effective for stimulant use disorder, for which no Food and Drug Administration-approved medications currently exist.
This Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) webinar, made possible by The Pew Charitable Trusts, will bring together state leaders and experts to discuss how they are exploring, launching, and scaling CM across various policy and funding environments. Speakers from three states — Delaware, New Jersey, and Wisconsin — will share considerations related to state roles, provider engagement, operational design, and financing approaches, including Medicaid Section 1115 demonstration waivers and State Opioid Response Grants. The discussion will highlight common challenges, emerging solutions, and lessons for states at all stages of CM development.
This 75-minute webinar is designed for states that are beginning to explore CM, those piloting limited CM programs, and those seeking to scale and spread CM statewide, as well as other stakeholders seeking to promote CM.
